The AXI4 DMA Controller by Digital Blocks is engineered to facilitate efficient data transfers within hardware configurations, offering multi-channel support ranging from 1 to 16 channels. This makes it adaptable for varying data throughput needs, whether for small data packets or extensive data transfers. It features independent read and write controllers for each channel, supporting both scatter and gather linked-list transactions, ensuring maximum efficiency.
Designed with the AMBA AXI protocol in mind, this DMA controller ensures seamless integration with other system components, making it ideal for high-performance computing tasks that require substantial data movement. The ability of users to program burst lengths and manage 4K boundary crossings enhances its adaptability for different application scenarios, from network systems to complex AV processing.
The controller also allows for a high degree of customization to accommodate specific needs. Options to tailor features can help systems minimize silicon area while managing licensing costs effectively. Software compilation is further streamlined by the extensive suite of provided specification documents and test benches, guaranteeing reliable performance across diverse operational environments.
